CHAD'S STORE LOCATER THE STRONGHOLD - VENICE,CA

A few months ago The Stronghold store on Abbot Kinney had some major changes. The building was more or less split in half and is now occupied by The Stronghold and next-door neighbor Shinola.

I visited the store 5 years ago but, I must say that in this new settlement the products are better presented and the store gives you a cozy feeling. The Stronghold Denim is the focal point of the store but it is surrounded with great brands like: Pendleton, Filson, Alden, Stetson, Lewis Leather and many many more. This store is a must see when you are in LA.

JANE MOTORCYCLES - BROOKLYN, NY

As I'm not a big motorcycle fan but a great coffee lover and as a coffee lover I couldn't resist to enter Jane Motorcycles.

Two years ago Adam Kallen & Alex Dimattio opened Jane Motorcycles @ Grand Street, Brooklyn. this spring they moved to their new location with more space. Jane Motorcycles is a new take on a motorcycle shop. With not just a bike and a helmet but also the perfect motorcycle jacket from Lewis Leather or Belstaff, boots from Red Wing, knits from North Sea Clothing and helmets from Bell.  But.........they serve a great cup of coffee too.
